Apple has asserted that it cannot rely on Google to represent its interests effectively in the forthcoming trial. It stated, 'Google can no longer adequately represent Apple's interests: Google must now defend against a broad effort to break up its business units.' This statement underscores the contentious nature of their financial relationship and Apple’s desire to ensure its revenue-sharing agreements are adequately defended.
Apple's lawyers emphasized that the tech giant does not intend to develop a competing search engine, regardless of the continued financial relationship with Google. They noted, 'Apple does not plan to build its own search engine to compete with Alphabet's Google, whether or not the payments continue,' clarifying their strategic focus amidst the ongoing legal proceedings.
